 Good luck
No chances are you will not come home to a potty trained angel, you will probably come home to an upset MIL. LOL. Yorkies take patience and lots of time to train. Benni (my slightly older one year old) came completely trained, he would bark and let me know when he needed to go out, Garret is trained to the paper and only the paper, he will not go outside. When Ben was in the hospital for a few days he came home and I had to spend another six weeks retraining him, he lost it all in the hospital. Puppies do not even have control until they are five or six months old, plus yorkies are tiny dogs with tinier bladders. I never used the crate or pens with my two, Garret may never make the transition to outside, and that is ok. They still have occasional accidents, and that too is alright. My kids took a lot longer. Plus your yorkie is a little baby in a new environment, give it time. Yorkies are definitely worth the time and the trouble. |
